these doubters was Gen. Logan, and his

Gen Grant sent Logan from the western
department to Washington, with dispatches
TO lie delivered TO the president in person.
Logan reached the capital late on Saturday
night. and early on Sunday morning called
at the White House.
The servant said that it was against the
rules for any one to see the president on sun

main length of the contour OF the falls

AUSTRALIANS RABBIT PEST.
Many valuable Estates Almost
Ruined.

Many Valuable Estates Almost
Consul General Morgan, of Austria
liza, has written the secretary of state a
curious dispatch, describing the raw
ages of the rabbits upon that continent.
The whole country is SO overrun with
them, he says, that unless something is
soon done to exterminate the pests the
result will be disastrous to the agricult-
ural interests. Rabbits were first in
troduced into the country in 1860 by a
large landed proprietor for the purpose
of sport but they have multiplied with
such astounding rapidly rs to literally
oyerrun the whole continent, where the
topography is favorable to them. ut
S doubtful" says Mr.. Morgan, "wheth-
er many persons are aware OF the I'M
mense loss that has been sustained in
the colony from this curious cause. As
much as 800. 600 has been expended to
clear one estate of the pests, and many
other proprietors have expended from
$50, 1000 downward without much re-
suit. In addition to the expense in
Cured by private owners, the govern
ment and authorities have done much.
There has been great depreciation in
the value of land from this cause, and
one estate of twenty thousand acres in
Victoria, which was formerly the best
pasture in the colony, is now valueless.
In recent discussion in the parliament
was shown that twelve million acres
had been rendered almost useless by
these little invaders. Estates upon
which were smiling harvest fields and
fruitful orchards few years ago have
fallen into ruin and are deserted by all
living creatures except the rabbits, In
he grass and salt brush, where in 1915
were 100000 sheep, there are now not
more than 100000. In the year 1876
the production of wool in the Malice
country was 5000 bales, valued ut $780,
O00 In 1884 this had fallen TO 900
bales, valued at 100000. Many of the
ranges are entirely abandoned. Dur
ING the last three years the government
mas spent $500 in Victoria alone to
rid the country of the little beasts,
poisoned oats and wheat being used
and bounty paid upon skins of 3
pence per dozen. Last year the num-
Der destroyed by private persons, on
which bounty was paid, was 3,SSf,OOO.
The sum voted by parl ament this year
for the purpose is $4,000. 1t may be
asserted that one pair of rabbits will in
reace in % years to 100000 but al
owing that they only increase to one
ourth that number it may easily be seen
now necessary it is to destroy them.

FREIGHT RATES.
Something About the New Baltimore and
Ohio Schedule.

Something About the New Baltimore ana
Ohio Schedule.
Yesterday the new freight rates on the
Baltimore and Ohio road between this city
and the East, under the Interstate COM
merce bill, went into effect. The schedule
saws that rates to all local stations on the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad, Baltimore to
Wheeling, Pittsburg and Harrlsonburg,
will be the same as to Wheeling; and rates
TO all local stations between Grafton and
Parkersburg will be the same as to Par
kersburg."
Wheeling, Parkersburg and Pitts6urg
being Ohio river points, and, therefore,
open to water competition for trelghts,
have al ways been classed together by ship
pers and the railroad company. The new
Wheeling rates on the six classes
of the trunk line classification are: First,
A. cents; second, 80 cents; third, 30 cents,
fourth, 81 cents; fifth, Is cents; sixth 10
cents. A year ago the rates TO some inter
mediate stations were nearly twice as high
as the figures given. At that time re-
ductiou of % per cent was made on them
and this new order of things brings them
down to the Wheeling tariff. 1t will be
a substantial saving for the merchants IN
these towns, who heretofore have frequent
ly found it profitable to have their goods,
bought in New York or Baltimore, sent
through to this city and then sent back to
their real destination. In the Wheeling
rates themselves there has been very little
variation
